Ruling on fasting on Saturday
Hadith 888
- (لا تَصُمْ يومَ السبتِ إلا في فريضةٍ، ولو لم تَجِدْ إلا لحاءَ شجرةٍ فَأَفْطِرْ عليهِ) .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not fast on Saturday, except for obligatory fasts. If you find nothing but the bark of a tree, then eat that (to show that you are not fasting)."
